An Electromyography Study of Wrist Extension Orthoses and Upper-Extremity Function

Abstract: Wearing a wrist extension orthosis appears to place additional stress on the proximal joint musculature beyond that found without splint use. The study has implications for the prescription of wrist extension orthoses, especially for patients whose proximal joints are already compromised.

“…Most of the complications mentioned above are located in the surrounding areas of the original injury; however, compensatory motions at proximal segments following a distal injury have been reported several studies [8][9][10][11][12]. It should be noted that the scapula is one of the most affected anatomical structures by these adaptive changes, because the scapula acts as a linkage between the trunk and the Upper Extremities (UE), it is therefore more vulnerable to the deleterious effects of distal injuries [13].…”

“…Dois artigos (BULTHAUP et al, 1999;BURTNER et al, 2003), além dos músculos já descritos, também investigaram outros músculos do membro superior, porém, estes não foram apresentados nessa discussão, por não serem o foco desta revisão.…”

“…De acordo com a localização do apoio de sustentação que foi oferecido ao punho, dos dez dispositivos investigados, seis eram ventrais, três envolviam a região volar e dorsal do antebraço e apenas um era dorsal. A maioria das órteses apresentou uma maior área de suporte, isto é, eram longas e, apenas três delas eram curtas.Quando comparados os resultados intra e intergrupos levando em consideração estes três aspectos, observa-se que das três órteses estáticas volar longas, uma não alterou a atividade extensora (JANSEN et al, 1997) e duas aumentaram a atividade flexora e extensora dos músculos do antebraço (BULTHAUP et al, 1999;JOHANSSON et al, 2004). Das duas órteses estáticas volar curtas, uma não alterou a atividade extensora e aumentou a atividade flexora (BULTHAUP et al, 1999) e a outra não alterou a atividade extensora ou flexora (BURTNER et al, 2003).…”
